The worship of the sea god is not prevalent in the coastal areas of Dongzhou Yandi, but it is very popular here in the South China Sea.

To the south of Dongzhou Yandi, the terrain is too complicated, the kind of stretching mountains and the distant ocean are almost connected, and many places in the south of Dongjing are still in the wilderness.

In the entire Liuyun Immortal Domain, there were powerful people who had explored it, and that exploration took him almost a few years, because the continent of the Liuyun Immortal Domain was too big!

In the end, he came to the result that the Liuyun Immortal Domain was surrounded by the sea on three sides, the Dingqin Sea in the east, and the gloomy Heizang Sea in the west.

Ding Qinhai is not bad, Hei Zanghai will make people have the association of the Sea of Darkness, that place is in the terrain is complex and endless, even if the Immortal Venerable Cultivator flies into it, I am afraid that he will return halfway.

Among the three seas, only the South China Sea in the south is the most beautiful, with a long coastline, a variety of good harbors and islands, and several very good fishing grounds.

And the air in the south is humid, the water network is dense, the products have always been very rich, many of the indigenous people did not work at all, when they were hungry, they could pick some fruits to satisfy their hunger, and when they were thirsty, they drank some mountain spring water, the climate was warm and humid, but the wind and rain were smooth, and there was a slight storm, such a place in the north of the Great Jin Dynasty people could not imagine at all.

The people of Nanyang go to sea all the year round, and there are many fishermen who fish, so they are naturally full of awe for the vast sea, so the worship of the sea god also originated here.

But I don't know when the sea god is said to be a woman, so he is revered as: the sea god Niangniang! There are temples around the world, and the incense is continuous all year round.

Of course, the most gorgeous and largest temple is located on the island five nautical miles opposite Nan'an City! Tanah Lot Temple is very majestic, and it is maintained by temple blessings and believers all year round.

In previous years, the royal family would donate a part of the incense money to maintain the cultivation temple, and the statue of the god of the sea god Niangniang will be built with donations from good men and women every ten years, so there will be a new statue of the milk god Niangniang in the sea temple every ten years.

Today is the ceremony of sacrificing the goddess of the sea, there are already a large number of believers in the temple to clean and wipe early, and it is the loess paving road to clean the water and sprinkle the street, and then prepare to welcome His Majesty the emperor to come to worship in person.

Moreover, the statue of the goddess of the sea was carried out of the temple by a grand ceremony three days ago, and placed on a bluestone platform on the highest part of the island!

Looking at the statue from afar, the statue is solemn, the smoke is ethereal, and there is really a scene of a god coming to the world.

Many people also have their own incense cases in their homes, and at this moment they have also put incense candles for the sea god Niangniang, of course, as a believer of the sea god Niangniang, on the seaside, on the dock, on the top of the mountain, there are people who kneel down everywhere, they are very pious, and the merit words that are constantly praised in the mouth.

At this time, there was a sudden melodious bell on the island, and all the noise disappeared from the originally noisy coastal hilltop pier and even the sea boats moored in the sea!

The Ministry of Rites in the court announced that the sacrificial ceremony had officially begun, and the day was close to noon, first the emperor led millions of people to salute the statue of the god of the sea, and offered incense, and then His Majesty the emperor personally recited the sacrificial words.

His Majesty the Emperor wore a bright yellow dress, led the hundred officials up the steps of the temple, and saluted to the sea goddess Niangniang, and then the ceremonial officer personally stepped forward, took the incense bundle from the hands of His Majesty the Emperor, and then inserted it into the incense burner in front of the statue.

Then the emperor stepped forward, unfolded the yellow satin silk book and began to chant the sacrificial words, and the people around and even in the four directions were silent in this process, of course, because they were too far away, no one could hear what the emperor's sacrificial words were.

But its sprinkled content, coupled with the subdued voice, still lasted for half an hour.

After His Majesty the Emperor finished reading the sacrificial words, an official announced that music would be played, followed by the sound of the bell, the sound of Huang Zhong Da Lu Zhi sounded, and then the sound of silk and bamboo was half a year old! An orchestra composed of more than 100 musicians began to play.

The whole process lasts for several hours, and at the end, His Majesty the Emperor arrives at the palace, where a large number of sacrifices are pushed into the sea, and the people bow down in praise and bow, and then cheer and celebrate.

Most of the sacrifices were made of pigs, cattle, sheep, three livestock, grains, rice and other items, which were also stipulated after the Southern Tang Dynasty moved south and officially established the sacrificial ceremony.

In the past, human sacrifices were used in folk priest activities, all of which were selected from the folk boys and girls to sacrifice to the god of the sea, and the Southern Tang Dynasty court thought it was too cruel, and then the official special order banned it, and the priests in the future were in accordance with the new regulations.

This kind of sacrificial ceremony, in a way, is indeed a means of promoting national strength, and a large number of overseas foreign countries and island owners come to see the ceremony, which is equivalent to a state of being dressed from all over the world.

For this reason, the Southern Tang Dynasty court has always been a big deal about this, as if it can let others see that the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty still exists, the people are respectful, the country is strong, and the glory of the past has not been lost.

At the end of the festival, a large number of flowers were thrown into the sea, whether it was the people on the shore, the spectators on the top of the mountain, or the port pier and the ships moored in the sea, all wanted to throw flowers into the sea at this moment.

All of a sudden, the flowers fell like rain, the sea was suddenly covered with flowers, and there were a large number of flowers blown by the North Sea Breeze, fluttering in the air, like a country of flowers on the sea.

In the cheers of all the people, the sacrificial ceremony officially ended, and the next three days were naturally the same days as the festival, and the emperor naturally had to rejoice with the people, and the lanterns of the entire Nan'an City were not extinguished at night.

And at that moment, some people began to exclaim, suddenly there was a heavy fog on the sea! This fog was very strange, and without any warning, the fog appeared, and now there was no wind on the sea, and the fog began to drift along the sea.

Some of the naval warships on the periphery were in charge of guarding, and they saw that the fog was floating from the sea, and they were a little confused, and soon the fog floated around the warship, and for a while, the warship seemed to be floating on the sea of clouds.

But then the fog began to drift upwards, and the soldiers on the ship suddenly fell one after another "poof......poof!", and they were all unconscious.

"Oh no! the fog is poisonous!" someone shouted.

At this moment, the whole ship was in chaos, but the fog drifted too fast, even if they knew that someone was covering their mouths and noses, they still fell to the ground one after another, and in a moment everyone on a warship fell to the ground unconscious.

Soon, all the ships of the sailors on the perimeter were all gone, and few people could escape, and the weapons gradually approached the escort ships in the inner ring.

And these warships are the escort force of the Twelve Guards of the Forbidden Army, Duan Minghui, the right commander of the guards, has already received the news that there is a problem with the naval division warship in front of him at this moment, and he is suddenly anxious when he sees the mist floating over thinking about them.

If you break through their defenses, then there will be the royal dragon ship and the sea ship that all the princes and ministers are riding on!

Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor has not officially boarded the ship to leave the palace, but if something goes wrong with the ship, His Majesty will definitely be trapped on the island, and it will be dangerous at this time.

Someone has already rushed to the island in a small boat to report that Wu Yuntong, the general of the sailors on the island, has rebelled, and is now leading a large number of sailors and warships to come, and the forbidden troops on the periphery are all poisoned and the warships are all paralyzed.

Don't ask His Majesty the Emperor and the ministers how to find a way to solve this problem, what Duan Minghui and the others are facing at the moment is that damn fog problem.

After Duan Minghui was flustered for a while, he immediately ordered the warship to shrink as much as possible towards the inner circle, so as not to be contaminated with those poisonous mists, and at the same time asked his subordinates to quickly find all kinds of fans to blow away these mists.

When he was busy, he saw that his colleagues in the distance had already made a move! And those who did it were the masters of immortal cultivation in the Twelve Guards! When he encountered such a danger, only immortal cultivators could deal with it.

"Puff ——!" Two fire dragons suddenly rolled out of the sea, instantly sweeping away a large amount of mist, and on the other side, someone jumped into the air and began to cast spells!

After a strong wind swept through for a while, and after the talisman seal burned, a large amount of rain fell in the air, and the fog on the sea surface was gradually disappeared by these means.

When the fog cleared, everyone found that there were hundreds of large warships in the distance, led by several huge ships in front, killing them violently!

Those warships were all the main warships of the naval division on the outlying islands of the Southern Tang Dynasty! Now the sudden rebellion of the great general Wu Yuntong is obviously unexpected! If such a huge naval fleet all rebels, it is very likely that the Yulin army and the forbidden army guarding it will all be wiped out.

After all, this is not on land, but on the sea, if it is on land, the Yulin Army and the Forbidden Army still have some combat effectiveness, and the rebels want to blockade the entire area and besiege the island of Tanah Lot, but it is easier at sea.

Wei Ziyu and they have been planning for so long, but they really didn't expect that the rebellion would take place at sea on the day of the ceremony, and in the previous judgment, Wu Yuntong, the general of the outlying island sailors, was still a special person, and his relationship with King Ping was not deep.

Who would have thought that he would be the first to attack, and chose to rebel in the weakest place of the imperial court's defenses.

At the beginning, it was considered that Li Honglie, the king of Ping, might be in trouble at sea, but on the one hand, it was impossible for him to get the warships of the sailors on the outlying islands, and it was obviously impossible to surprise their own sea ships.

But Li Honglie was really a powerful person, and he was able to secretly persuade Wu Yuntong, so that the whole situation was reversed, the rebels were unprepared to attack him, and the countermeasures of the imperial court almost fell into vain.

And the most incomprehensible thing is that this rebellion actually began in front of hundreds of thousands of people who came to watch the sacrificial ceremony, and they obviously didn't care about any reputation!

It seems that this is the principle of power, whoever has the biggest fist will be the most reasonable! If those powerful monks in Xianji Province do not intervene, the entire Southern Tang Dynasty Imperial Court will be in danger.
